The Devil Went Down To Georgia Lynn Anderson

[Verse 1]
Well the Devil went down to Georgia. He was lookin' for a soul to steal
He was way behind and he was in a bind and he was looking to make a deal
When he came across this young man sawin' on a fiddle and playin' it hot
And the Devil jumped upon a hickory stump and said "Boy, let me tell you what."

"I bet you didn't know it, but I'm a fiddle player, too
And if you'd care to take a dare, well I'll make a bet with you
Now you play a pretty good fiddle, boy, but give the Devil his due
I'll bet a fiddle of gold against your soul 'cause I think I'm better than you."

Now the boy said, "My name's Johnny, and it might be a sin
But I'll take your bet; and you're gonna regret 'cause I'm the best there's ever been."

[Chorus]
Johnny, rosin' up your bow and play your fiddle hard
'Cause Hell's broke loose in Georgia and the Devil deals the cards
And if you win you get this shiny fiddle made of gold
But if you lose the devil gets your soul

[Verse 2]
Well the Devil opened up his case and he said, "I'll start this show."
And fire flew from his fingertips as he rosined up that bow
And he dragged the bow across the strings and it made an evil hiss
And a band of demons joined in and it sounded something like this:
